Hungary’s Holy Crown to be moved due to inadequate conditions
Change language:
According to the Press Office of the National Assembly, the display case protecting the Holy Crown has broken down and must be moved until a new one is installed.
The Holy Crown and the coronation insignia (sceptre, national apple, sword), which are held in high esteem in Parliament, symbolise Hungary’s millennial history. The historical objects kept under the dome need great care to preserve their original state. As discovered earlier, the refrigeration system in the glass storage room for the coronation badges has broken down, so the temperature and humidity required for the coronation badges cannot be maintained.
The Parliament’s Office has requested tenders from a single company, Glasbau Hahn GmbH, the German manufacturer of the former display cases, under the negotiated procedure without a call for tenders. The contract for the supply, installation, and commissioning of the display case for the Holy Crown was signed in early November. As a result of the public procurement procedure, a contract was awarded to Glasbau Hahn GmbH.
The German manufacturer will be paid 151,000 euros, or more than 61 million forints at today’s exchange rate. This includes training for ten operators and two years of maintenance of the electrical components (temperature control system, humidity control system, hydraulic lifters, and lighting). The previous purchase price was 28 million forints, more than double the cost of the new equipment, HVG reports.
On the day the new display case is installed, the Holy Crown will be on display in the upper hall of the Parliament.
The “mis-truths” – the Fabrications, the Propaganda, the LIES, that have come from the “Floor” of Parliament, in the House of Parliament in Hungary, from a Government of (16) sixteen years, under Victor Orban and his Fidesz Government.
The “ill” of the wind, the breezes, the polluted AIR – of our House of Parliament – the corrosive nature, the Staleness – ” toxic” – in its COMPOSITION, these are the REASON’s – why the CROWN and “other” historical pieces, of the History of Hungary – have been INFESTED – need of renewal – Replacing.
“Its an ill Wind” – meaning that even a very bad situation ( Hungary – our FUTURE) – must have some Good Results.
